Hi! i just came back from catalunya where i was able to participate in a castells team and I'd love to continue doing it. Where in the Netherlands do you participate in a team?
i love catalan culture so much this was one of many cool things ive seen there, im from Quebec we facing similar cultural challnges also about preserving our own identity, hopefuly i go back soon
This tradition exists in India as well (in Maharashtra state). It is known as Dahihandi. These human towers come up during the festival of Janmashtami.

Y toma, y dale, y sigue, y dale y toma que catalán paquí y pallá en la sección de comentarios .... basta ya, como si a un australiano le importase algo el sentimiento de identidad. Si va de Castells! no del pu****ñetero romanticismo local. Ya está bien, a ver si nos salimos de la burbujita y nos damos una vuelta por Hispanoamérica, así nos enamoramos de algo más que de nuestra ombligo.
A castells tothom parla Català, i realment quedaria molt més informatiu que (sense voler) la gent de fora senti una mica de tant en tant el nostre idioma!
I think colles from other countries are allowed to join in, but since those tend to be way smaller (mostly migrant Catalans and their friends xd) they simply have no chance against the big ones. Don't know how you enter the final big competition though, there's probably some kind of point system or something...
4:07 Hope they didn't count the boy as a separate level from the girl he was standing over. Their feet were both standing on the same level, she was just squatting and he was over her. That should be 9 not 10. If they did count the two as 2 separate levels, then just have a squatter on each level between the legs of someone standing and it'd be easy to get 18 levels.
I can't really tell if you're being sarcastic or not xd, but in case you don't know, obviously falls are not the default dismounting strategy. Only 3% of the towers fall, but they get overrepresented in media due to its espectacularity.
Truly beautiful tradition, but it seems it would be a lot safer to collapse the human pyramids layer by layer instead of allowing the whole thing to implode all at once. Just a thought.
That is the idea, indeed. Actually, only about 3% of the attempts fail, but most documentaries over represent falling towers because they are more spectacular, I guess.
When you see a fall from the stands it seems very shocking. It may even seem that someone has died, but I have friends who practice that tradition and they have told me that when there is a fall it doesn't really feel heavy,, all the weight of the fall is cushioned between many people

Al igual que tú hablas en el idioma que te da la gana, los demás hacen lo mismo, y tú no eres nadie para decirle a los demás lo que tienen que hacer o no hacer sólo para complacerte, no es asunto tuyo lo que los demás digan y cómo lo digan y mucho menos ir con exigencias al respecto, y si eso no te gusta pues te jodes y te aguantas.
I am from The Netherlands...I do this now for 23 years.......great hobby, great friends, team work, travels, best hobby ever !

@@CallmeliekeHi ! There was a team a few years ago in Hoorn I think but I didn’t work out, Now I think there is no team in The Netherlands….
@@TheJeroenTitulaer aahw damn it. I guess I gotta go back to catalunya then... Thanks for responding tho!

It seems speeling ans mastering dickshun are a challenge to yoo as wheel.
If these guys ever become zombies…. We are all in big trouble.
We were the inspiration for World War Z 😜
You’re right. They’ll climb on top of each other to get to us
Guess its under ground we hide
Trust the zombies. Catalonians are wonderful people.

Human Towers Of Tarragona - Who Will Build The Tallest? 1728pm 2.11.22 human alters, for sure...
I don't think is the same. With respect for India's traditions. But not the same at all
@@KALIL62 how come? they look really really similar.
We Indians have set a guniess world record in this.@@KALIL62

I thought this was about to be stupid but it is a genuinely interesting and amazing cultural thing.
But still stupid
How this would be about being stupid? Are you one?
“ There isn’t much risk except the height and the impact if you fall “ 😂
Well, the subtitles are wrong, she doesn't really say that.
Despite, not expect.
Not “except”, it says “despite”
This used to be an event for school kids in Japan, too, but it’s been going out of fashion because of injuries.
These people train hard and plan intensely, with safety in mind, as the helmets for the smallest show.
How injuries pupils have in a school due Soccer, basketball, athletics... ? Maybe more.

Congratulations To You all on making the worlds tallest human towers😊

In catalonia people speak more spanish than catalan
It’s ok we are bilingual and it’s easy to English speakers to translate from Spanish.
@@BmuXD ask them for their main language
A castells tothom parla Català, i realment quedaria molt més informatiu que (sense voler) la gent de fora senti una mica de tant en tant el nostre idioma!
This is loco.
Honestly.... One of a very beautiful tradition in the world!!!
Traditions catalane inscrite sur la liste du patrimoine immatériel de l’unesco ,discipline à découvrir absolument 🖐 😅
So like, basically, architecture but with human materials
I had a dream. I saw this happen on a mosh pit dance floor after seeing a tallest pallet tower built
Is this really a world championship with teams from other countries, or is it just regional teams?
I think colles from other countries are allowed to join in, but since those tend to be way smaller (mostly migrant Catalans and their friends xd) they simply have no chance against the big ones.

Que bonito

WOW
My anxiety when they feel: 📈
Классно!
Its Dahi handi festival.
Come to mumbai…❤
Gotta love the american film crew desperately looking for the 3 people in the Vilafranca casteller crew who speak fluent spanish. XD
They're not American. This is a German channel with quite an international crew.
That doesn't take away from your O
observation, though. 😉
is it that bad? Nobody will speak Spanish over there?
@@RM-el3gw Most people in rural Catalonia learn Spanish as a foreign language.
@@MiguelVicoR Liar
@@bcnmanhattan5022 no
You'd think they would come up with a better dismounting strategy
I can't really tell if you're being sarcastic or not xd, but in case you don't know, obviously falls are not the default dismounting strategy.
Only 3% of the towers fall, but they get overrepresented in media due to its espectacularity.
What that would be? You seem very clever.
200 years doing this and you cane up with a better solution in seconds? Lol
Is the narrator South African?
great great. now, let us make a human swing set 🤣
And don't forget the human sliding board

Definitely not how it works. But good try
Tarragona os not spañistan
If you do a video about Catalans don’t make them speak Spanish :) It would be like making ukranians speak russian

🤮🤮 Free Catalonia from Imperialist Spain
No me gusta esa tradición

Romanticismo local?
No.. mejor Ignorancia Universal cierto?
There is no catalan national identity, there is no catalan nation, there is only spain.
